I have a real passion for retro videogames and I've spent many an Hour in Yongsan Plaza looking at old games and consoles however many of the store owners seem reluctant to sell various items to me.

Where else can I find many game stores in seoul or incheon?

i saw a vendor in the "speaker shop" basement area of yongsan with a nintendo micro! it's the only one i've ever seen. the only other places i can think of are the technomarts. one at gangbyeon station and i think a brand new one at sindorim station ( I think it's new because of an empty floor, fancy elevators and a lacking arcade)

Go to the big electronics market by Nambu Bus Terminal station - one of the upper floors is all game dealers and is a lot more calm than Yongsan. I haven't been there for a couple of years but it should still be there.

I saw a few guys selling old-school Nintendo systems and sega genesis...

You mean you wanted to buy something and said no?
